THE THEORETICAL RESPONSE OF LIVING CELLS TO CONTACT WITH SOLID BODIES

The theoretical behavior of a hypothetical fluid cell in contact with flat and curved solid surfaces is discussed from the point of view of surface tension. An equation is derived for calculating the equilibrium position of the cell on a flat surface in terms of the surface tensions between the cel...
